Blurred Vision

Woke up blind this morning.  Well close to it.  I think I had too much fun  yesterday but it was pretty mild fun.  I had probably four beers, maybe five over six to eight hours.  Had some pizza, okay way too much pizza and some sausage that wasn’t all that great but only because I prefer mine cooked more than most people do. I also had one big fat cigar which I paidRusty in The Philippines P100 for which is a lot of money.  Oh, I get to be a rich guy once a week.  :)  Well pretend anyway.  It gives me a better buzz than the beer.  Though mild vices, I guess they are more than my body can handle well.  Waking up blind is a bad sign. LOL

We hung out at the Pizza Pub yesterday, flirting with the girls, that too was mild.  They walk by and give me the look but they rarely mean anything behind it.  I think they just want to know they’re pretty.  Not all that different than the US but now women in the US are afraid to do that kind of thing with strangers.

People are not as strange to each other in the Philippines as they are in the states.  People are more likely to speak.  Now, there is a healthy dose of skepticism about others but usually when I speak first the Filipino will respond very friendly.  A pinoy asked me to join him yesterday.  I kind of wanted too but I didn’t.  He was trying to share his pizza with me.  He probably had no idea how much I love it.  LOL  But, I am still a bit shy.  Especially, when it comes to eating with someone I don’t know.

Something our home seems to make me itch.  I can stay out most of the day without itching, I come home and I start itching.  Sometimes I take showers, even if they are cold as it seems to help stop the itching.  That may be all in my head, but whatever, I don’t continue to itch and that’s good enough for me.

Jessie and I just came back from a short walk.   Only about a mile today.  I had planned to walk to the end of the wharf but there was a float in front of the “gay house” and I wanted to get a closer look.  Actually there were a lot of flowers.  They had banners crossing the street and  very bad karaoke.  There were also tents setup at the “gay house” and lots of people there.

Jessie and I call it the “gay house” because a lot of gay men can be seen coming and going there.  Proudly gay in most cases.  :)

I really wasn’t in the mood to walk but I needed to do something to get my blood sugar down.  I can tell it is high because I can’t see.  I’m really hungry but I’m not going to eat as it will just make my blood sugar higher.   I’ve got a craving for Spuds (like Pringles but better and cheaper) but I told Jessie we ate too much yesterday and I wont get them.  She’s hungry too.  She started to open the bread we just bought but I asked her not to open that around me.  The bread smelled so good when we were at the bread store.  And they have chocolate buns!  I’m really surprised Jessie has not brought that home, yet.

I had a good restful day but I need to work on writing a lot more.  The more I write the more people visit.

I posted an article about my day yesterday on my Living In Cebu site with the pictures we took yesterday.  Jessie took several good pictures yesterday.  I keep trying to get a good picture of a plant called Bird of Paradise but they keep coming out blurred.

Things are wonderful, still having a great time.  The temperatures have gone back up a bit.  I plan to take a tour of The Island of Cebu north of my location tomorrow but that depends on many things.  Like how I feel and how energetic I feel.  Probably related to what time I get to sleep tonight.  So we’ll find out tomorrow.  I want to visit the church in San Remegio and take pictures.  I love living one day at time.  It rocks!
